Chapter 1174 - Run Out of Provisions
Chapter 1174: Run Out of Provisions
Lu Shu thought that someone had definitely released this herd of cows here. They had received orders as well. If the other creatures in the remains were prisoners, then these cows were prison wardens.
The leader among the secret practitioners was dumbfounded. Was this the herd of cows that had come to “visit” them? Were they so ferocious?
Earlier, they had encountered creatures who had slammed into their deaths, but they were probably too weak. The lightning barrier had not been exhausted. Thus, the herd of cows had not appeared.
Thus, the leader and the rest thought that they had discovered the secret of the remains. They could occasionally come and pick up the dead bodies of the creatures. They were fresh and delicious. They could even restore their strength.
This misconception made the leader feel that it was not that difficult to survive in the remains. At least, they were able to continue living.
But today’s events shocked him. He now understood that humans were the weak ones in the remains! These creatures were ancient beasts!
Someone softly asked, “What do we do now?”
His voice trembled as he spoke.
“Let’s return to the campsite.” The leader panicked as well. After he advanced to Rank Two, he was part of the upper class in the cultivation realm. Many people had to politely greet him when they saw him.
But when he saw the white serpent and the herd of cows that fed on lightning, humans were insignificant.
“Did someone capture these creatures?” Someone asked softly.
“If that was the case, then I am grateful for them. If these creatures were on Earth, what would Earth be like now?” The leader sighed with emotion.
The entire group returned empty-handed. On the way back, they did not even have the time to think about what they would do without any food. Their heads were filled with the concern on whether they would be able to survive in this dangerous place!
On the way back, the female Practitioner came to Lu Shu and softly asked, “Why does the herd of cows keep looking for you? Who in the world are you?”
Lu Shu cheerily shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
He was not panicking. After all, compared to the other Practitioners or ordinary people, his ability to protect himself did not worry him to the extent that he could not sleep.
“I know that you don’t want to tell me. But relax. I will not tell the others,” promised the female Practitioner.
Lu Shu looked at her. Suddenly, he laughed. “Thank you.”
As Lu Shu spoke, he shoved two pieces of hardtack into her pocket. She did not see where Lu Shu had taken the food out from, but she did not hesitate. She quickly pushed the hardtacks deep into her pocket.
She knew that when there was a lack of food, having food was very frightening to a low-leveled Practitioner.
Lu Shu had given her the hardtacks to repay her for her compassion, even if Lu Shu did not need it.
There was a saying in China. As long as everyone showed love, the world would become more pleasant.
Suddenly, the female Practitioner said, “Be careful. I won’t say anything, but I can’t say the same for the rest.”
Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “Yes, I know.”
Then, Lu Shu gave her two more hardtacks…
The female Practitioner was dumbfounded!
What was this? Were you a vending machine? Every sentence of concern gave her two hardtacks?!
The female Practitioner tried something. “You are very handsome.”
“Ha ha ha, is that so?” Lu Shu beamed with joy. He gave the female Practitioner another four hardtacks!
The female Practitioner tried again. “You are the most handsome person on Earth!”
Lu Shu said with a sense of justice, “There is always someone better than me. You cannot be so absolute. Add ‘one of’.”
“Oh. You are one of the most handsome people on Earth!” The female Practitioner rephrased herself. She felt that he was rather modest.
Then, she looked on helplessly as Lu Shu gave her another six hardtacks. To be honest, Lu Shu had thousands of this in the Seal of Lands. The female Practitioner kept quiet.
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Continue. Why did you stop?”
As Lu Shu spoke, he was about to take out more hardtacks…
The female Practitioner laughed bitterly. “My pocket can’t fit any more…”
Her pocket was full. If not, it would not take much for her to praise him…
If she tried to fit more things into her pocket, others would realized that there was something wrong. Thankfully, she was wearing a tracksuit. If not, it would have been obvious with just two pieces.
The female Practitioner looked at Lu Shu. She had never realized that Lu Shu had so many things. Where did these hardtacks come from?!
Suddenly, the female Practitioner realized that Lu Shu was someone who possessed invisible storage equipment!
If not, where did these hardtacks come from?
Less than 100 people in the cultivation realm had invisible storage equipment. They were all at the top of the food chain in the cultivation realm. They were the true experts.
A praise could be traded for food. This was equivalent to obtaining a way out.
The female Practitioner had never experienced such relaxing remains. She was able to obtain a chance of surviving with just one sentence. Compared to the other Practitioners, she was very lucky.
So the true expert had been by her side all this time.
She was thankful that she had received good karma. If not, she would have to worry about what to eat at night. There was practically no more food in the campsite!
But she knew that Lu Shu would not remain in the campsite for long. The campsite could not contain Lu Shu.
After they returned to the campsite, everyone sat by the bonfire with a worried look on their faces. They were thinking of a way out. They could no longer rely on their “secret” to survival. They might die the next time they went there. What would they do now?
The ordinary people could immediately tell that they had not been successful with their hunt. They did not dare to ask any questions. Israel came to Lu Shu and softly asked, “What’s wrong? Did you fail? Are you hungry? I still have some mutton. You can eat it.”
Lu Shu looked at her and smiled. “Why are you worried about me? You should eat it. Furthermore, there is no more food in the campsite. Someone might be eyeing your uneaten mutton.”
This scared Israel. She hurried back to her campsite and secretly ate her mutton.
Israel was an ordinary person. What she had to do was to leave this dangerous place.
Some people in the campsite had started to discuss their escape plan. They even talked about the herd of cows. Lu Shu saw the two cameramen approach the leader. They were secretly talking about something.
Israel saw this as well. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “What are they talking about?”
Lu Shu laughed. “They are probably talking about how to die.”
Israel was dumbfounded. She sensed the massive confidence from this young man. She had seen the same calmness while interviewing many established people in power!
